Anyone over 60 years?

[onega128 21]

I am 39 and year out from gastric bypass surgery. I am doing great and have lost 145. My mom really needs to do something but she keeps telling me she is too old. She is only 64. I know it would really help her. Is there anyone in that age group that could share their story for her?

Too old my foot! I had my sleeve surgery last year when I was 59. I was 60 a couple of weeks ago and I am loving every second of my journey. I have lost 68lbs and my BMI has gone from 36 to 24. I walk five miles a day with my dogs. I'm back doing ballet classes having not danced professionally for 25 years and I feel great! A girl is never too old to enjoy life, wear fun clothes and shoes and behave like a much younger version of herself. I intend growing older disgracefully!!!!!! Tell your mum to go for it. It is SO worth it!

@onega128. In had RNY Wednesday sept 14. I am 62. No complications. I prefer to live the rest of my years a normal weight as I had been fat all my life. Hope this answers your questions. s

Thank you so much. My mom did ballet back in the day. You are both very helpful.

I will be 62 next month. Had sleeve surgery 9/21. So far, so good.

It is reasonable to expect to live to 100 if a person is in good health. Tell her she can have 36 years of being slim if she gets the surgery.

I am 58 and having my surgery soon she only knows if she is to old if the Dr tells her, I think it depends on the insurance u have and the Dr usually can tell her.

I'm 2 months post sleeve. I was a healthy fat but knew I was on a downward spiral. I am 62 1/2.

With 2 week prep op diet and sleeve I'm down about 40 lbs

I am currently sitting in my mother's room, post op day 2 for gastric sleeve. She is 70. She is following my lead, I had the sleeve done a year ago.

Hi. I'm 64, had gastric bypass on October 26, 2015. I've lost from 278 to 161. I'm enjoying my life again! Everything is different, better, brighter. I say go for it!

Onega 128 I'm 70 and awaiting my surgery date, never too late to live better and be healthier. I could be a surg- buddy on here for your mom and I know there are other 55+ ERS on Bariatric pal.
